Patna,(BiharTimes): A division bench of Justice J S Khehar, Justice A K Misra and A M Khanwilkar of the Supreme Court on Wednesday pulled up former Bihar chief minister Dr Jagannath Mishra for dragging and delaying the appeal filed by CBI challenging the quashing of four pending fodder scam cases against him.
“We deprecate such behaviour. You are intentionally delaying the proceedings. It is very unfortunate. It amounts to cheating the court,” the bench said.
The CBI has challenged the 2014 order of the Jharkhand High Court quashing four pending fodder scam cases against him on the ground that a person convicted in one case could not be tried in similar cases based on same witnesses and evidences.
Mishra, along with RJD chief Lalu Prasad was convicted by a trial court in September 2013..
